Schlitterbahn’s Waterpark and Resortsfollow have been America’s #1 Waterpark starting with it’s flagship park in New Braunfels 17 year ago. It’ has won awards for the best waterpark, best waterpark ride, and best new ride. Schlitterbahn has been the birthplace of nearly every waterpark ride innovation including the world’s first uphill water coaster and the inland surfing ride, the Boogie Bahn.

Schlitterbahn was Green before Green was cool: Schlitterbahn, which was born on the banks of a river, has always been a steward of the water in the park. 98% of the water is recaptured, filtered, and reused all season. Our new resort in South Padre is built out of wood reclaimed from the wildfires that took place in Austin.

We’ve been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the newest addition to the Schlitterbahn chain here in Corpus Christi, Tx. After spending my childhood at the one in New Braunfels, yes from the time it opened 17 years ago, I’m excited to see one open up close to where we now live!

Schlitterbahn’s Waterpark and Resort in Corpus Christi will launch with Schlitterbahn’s signature attractions including a Torrent Tidal Wave River, a river system that allows guests to float along a wave-filled river; swim-up bars; beaches; and of course, a Boogie Bahn, the world’s best inland surfing ride; as well as on-site lodging.

Every park has a claim to fame:* New Braunfels: World’s longest tube ride; America’s Favorite Waterpark* South Padre: World’s first Transportainment system where interconnected rivers are queue lines for rides.* Galveston: World’s favorite indoor park* Kansas City: Midwest’s longest tubing adventure, and home to the World’s Tallest Waterslide

What will Corpus’s claim to fame be?!

As we prepare to hit the new park, here are three Waterpark Survival Tips for your next visit to Schlitterbahn:

Swim shoes or flip flops – Schlitterbahn parks are among the largest in the nation, and that means that invariably there will be some hot spots without shade or outdoor carpet. Wear some sort of water worthy shoe.

Suncreen – Water rides remove the best in sunscreen. Apply, ride, repeat.

Pack a lunch – Schlitterbahn allows ice chests, but no glass or alcohol. Make sure to pack some favorites but leave room for park specialties like funnel cake and turkey legs!

Schlitterbahn has been part of hundreds of thousands of great memories for guests, including myself and my family – what are your favorite memories at the park?

Follow our adventure as my family and I visit the brand new Schlitterbahn Waterpark this month and make new memories!
